This elegant amigurumi bunny is designed as a charming handmade crochet doll with a garden-party dress, floppy hat, tiny purse, and matching shoes. It also includes sweet woodland accessories, making it perfect for collectors looking for a cottagecore bunny doll pattern, nursery decor, or a thoughtful handmade gift.
The full set is styled like a premium amigurumi pattern bundle, with a fox, a squirrel, a flower-filled watering can, and a rolled picnic mat to complete the outdoor scene. If you enjoy making detailed crochet animal dolls and boutique-style display pieces, this design is a beautiful choice.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Gauge and Style Notes
Work in continuous rounds unless a row is clearly marked as joined. Use a tight, even tension so stuffing does not show. The sample in the image has smooth, compact stitches, soft shaping, and delicate surface embroidery, so cotton yarn with firm stitch definition gives the closest look.
The dress is full and slightly structured, with a wide skirt, scalloped hem, layered trim, and embroidered climbing vines with little roses. The hat is floppy but neat, with a shallow downward curve. Keep all shaping soft and rounded so the finished bunny looks gentle and sweet.

The head is large, smooth, and gently rounded, which creates the soft doll-like look in the photo. Place the eyes low and fairly wide. The muzzle area stays subtle, not sharply protruding.

Arms Make 2
The arms are slim and slightly tapered, with a relaxed downward angle. They sit low enough to peek out naturally from the dress sleeves. Stuff only the lower half so the upper arm stays soft and lies close to the body.

- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Ears Make 2

- Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)

Muzzle, Nose, and Face
With light pink embroidery floss, make a small triangle nose centered between the eyes, about 4 rounds below them. Add one short vertical stitch down from the nose and two tiny angled mouth stitches. Embroider thin brown brows above the eyes, slightly curved upward for a gentle expression.
Add blush on both cheeks or embroider faint pink cheek shading with short horizontal stitches. Keep the face minimal and sweet. The original image shows a calm, almost storybook expression, so avoid heavy shaping or oversized features.
Main Bunny Dress
Dress Bodice
The dress has a white fitted upper bodice with green trim, then opens into a full skirt. Work from the neckline downward. It should sit close to the body at the chest and widen after the waist to create the bell silhouette seen in the image.

Wrap yarn around the center several times to form the bow shape. Make two narrow tails, each ch 18, then sl st back along the chain. Sew tails under the knot.
Neckline Trim
Join C3 around the neckline and work one round of sl st. This creates the narrow green line at the top of the dress. Add a second tiny trim on the sleeve edge if desired by stitching a line of surface slip stitches where the arm opening meets the bodice.

Front Floral Detail
The chest of the dress includes two small green rosettes and leaf details near the right side. Make two mini roses and two leaves, then stitch them near the neckline above the waistline, slightly off-center.

Skirt Embroidery
This is the feature that gives the dress its fresh garden look. Use C3 and C4 yarn split thinner if needed. Embroider branching vines rising upward from the lower skirt, with curling stems and small leaf sprouts. Space motifs evenly all around the front and sides.
- Start each vine from just above the hem trim
- Use backstitch for stems
- Use tiny detached chain stitches for leaves
- Add 6 to 8 small rolled roses around the lower front hem
- Keep the central front area slightly fuller than the side panels
Make the vines airy, not dense. The image shows open botanical lines rather than heavy filling. Finish with small spiral flowers near the hem edge, mostly in pale green and dark green, with a few layered petals for depth.
Shoes Make 2
The shoes are rounded Mary Jane-style slippers in green, with a small strap across the top. They should fit snugly over the feet and show a neat cream sole edge where needed.

Add two tiny roses and two leaves on the flap. For the strap, with C3 and C4 held together or worked as a twisted cord, make a chain of 50 to 55. Sew to both upper sides of the purse. Position the purse at the bunny’s right hip.
Hat

Small Flowers and Roses for Decoration
You will need extra roses and leaves for the dress hem, purse, hat, and possibly the mat. Make these in a few sizes for a layered look. Tiny details are important because the original image is rich in accessories but still clean and balanced.
Tiny Spiral Rose
- Ch 12 with C4.
- Row 1: 2 hdc in second ch from hook and in each ch across.
- Roll tightly and sew base.
Larger Rose

- Roll loosely and sew base.
Leaf Variation

Assembly
- Sew head securely to body with the face centered.
- Sew ears to the top sides of the head, about 6 to 7 stitches apart from the crown center, then angle them downward.
- Sew arms to the body just below the neckline.
- Sew tail to the back body before fully dressing the bunny.
- Dress the bunny in the bodice and skirt.
- Add belt, bow, neckline trim, hem embroidery, and floral appliques.
- Put on shoes and tack them lightly if needed.
- Place purse diagonally across the body and stitch in place at shoulder and hip if the piece is for display.
- Set hat slightly tilted downward over one eye line and tack lightly through the crown.
- Arrange all accessories around the bunny as shown.
Final Assembly and Facial Detailing
Check that the bunny stands centered, with the head not leaning backward. Adjust the ears so they drape symmetrically. Add the nose, mouth, brows, and cheeks last, because tiny changes in embroidery will strongly affect the expression.
Place the hat low enough to frame the face but not cover the eyes. The purse should sit near the right side of the skirt. Spread the dress evenly so the embroidered vines and roses remain visible from the front.
Care Notes
- Display indoors away from direct sunlight
- Do not machine wash
- Dust gently with a soft dry brush
- Keep wire details away from small children
- Store the hat flat so the brim keeps its shape
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
- Eyes placed evenly and securely
- Face embroidery centered
- Ears sewn at matching angles
- Dress hem level all around
- Belt bow attached firmly
- Hat flower, purse flowers, and skirt roses secured well
- Fox, squirrel, watering can, and mat completed
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
For light cleaning, use a soft brush or a cool hair dryer on low airflow to remove dust. If deeper cleaning is needed, spot clean carefully with a damp cloth and mild soap, then blot with a towel and air dry fully.
To preserve shape, support the bunny upright during drying and do not wring any piece. Store in a breathable box with acid-free tissue. Keep away from humidity, rough handling, and long-term pressure on the hat brim, purse, and embroidered flowers.
